I found that randomly turning up at their offices to check on progress helped to turn the screw.
Got to aggressively chase these fckers. Not sure there is another profession out there that religiously stick to a 1300-1400 lunch break as they do |  |

Those were actually his working hours. And, of course, I use the term 'working' loosely. |  |

Been there once or twice. Loaded up a removal van full of belongings which then drives off. And me sat in a car having handed keys in, essentially homeless, until a phone call comes around 2 hours later. [Post edited 30 May 2024 12:10]

The greatest sentence in the English language is “you can come and collect the keys”. |  |

They're on a month to month retainer. Drag it out until June and charge another month. |  | | |

I fcked up a few years back - exchange arranged for Thursday morning - so on the Tuesday I transferred the cash to the solicitors account - nice and early and saved the £20 fee for a chaps same day payment.
Only on the Thursday it's not turned up. So I call the bank to do it by Chaps instead - they said there's no money to transfer. I say just cancel the instructions I gave Tuesday and I'll pay the £20 for the transfer.
So they cancel it - but the money is basically in the banking system for another 24 hours before it gets returned.
I had to pay £250 to the guy I am buying off and the whole chain was delayed by 24 hours.
Never been a fan of banks. |  |
